I thought they looked kinda "classy" in how they put the focus on the figure... but they're plain. And ultimately, and this includes 6" figures too, these aren't "high-end collectibles" no matter how you try to make the packaging LOOK like it is. These are mass-run toys...

I just don't get why they changed from TVC when there's such a tiny window between now and inevitably new looks... Keep going with TVC, cut the # of figures down per year, and call it a day. Spicing things up with a new look seems pointless...

I have a very good "feeling" this isn't intended to last more than a year anyway.

Yeah, these have to be the worst cards of all time. Tons of wasted space and blah when compared to the vintage.

I get they are trying to tie into the 6" stuff, but I agree with JJ. The vintage card back says "COLLECT ME" way more than this cardback does. Way better way to sell toys to collectors than this "elegant" nonsense. Would have been really nice if they had just gone back to that well to bridge the gap between now and Ep7.

Front I'm ok. I know there's the massive hard-on for The Vintage Collection cards, but they probably aren't completely dead and refreshing the line's a positive thing sometimes I think. I was happy when it was going back to Droid Factory just because I wanted the thought I was getting some kind of extra umph when I shelled out the $.

But this... yeah... It's very haphazard looking and the back is like someone played with some photoshop settings and just called it a day.
